43.4 : South Africa:187/8

43.4: H Pandya to M Morkel, OUT! Morkel is disappointed with himself as he walks back. A short of a length delivery around off, Morkel stands tall inside the crease and slaps it in the air over covers. The ball finds Shreyas Iyer with precision in the deep. A handy cameo comes to an end, let's see what Imran Tahir does now...

07:39 PM (IST)

42.6 : South Africa:179/7

42.6: J Bumrah to M Morkel, Mix up, almost a run out! But for that, they needed a better throw. Bumrah offers room outside off, Morkel cuts it to point and looks for a run. His partner is hesitant initially but then responds. The point fielder has a shy at the bowler's end, it's too wide and the batsman makes it safely with a dive.

41.6: H Pandya to A Phehlukwayo, FOUR! Dhawan gifts a boundary! He wants runs on the board so that he can score them later. A low full toss around off, Phehlukwayo walks across the stumps and whips it wide of long on.

07:24 PM (IST)

38.6 : South Africa:160/7

38.6: Y Chahal to M Morkel, MISSING LEG! Morkel survives! A nicely tossed up leg spinner landing full on off, Morkel kneels to play the slog sweep but misses. He is hit on the pads, Chahal appeals and appeals and finally succeeds in getting the finger up from umpire Aleem Dar. Morkel takes the help of the DRS and they go upstairs. The Ultra Edge shows a little bit of spike but it's of the ball hitting the deck, not the under edge of the bat. Now, after taking quite a while we get the Ball Tracker. It shows that the impact is in line but the ball is turning in too much and would have missed the leg stump. Aleem Dar smiles. Maybe, he took that long and was not very sure. But then gave in to the appeal. Anyway, a correct decision has been made, thanks to the technology.

07:21 PM (IST)

Shout for an lbw, finger goes up after the completion of the appeal and Morkel takes the referral.

07:20 PM (IST)

07:18 PM (IST)

38.2 : South Africa:159/7

38.2: Y Chahal to A Phehlukwayo, Defended off the front foot by the batsman presenting the full face of the bat.

07:18 PM (IST)

38.1 : South Africa:159/7

38.1: Y Chahal to M Morkel, Spinning in from around off, helped through mid-wicket for a run.

07:17 PM (IST)

37.6 : South Africa:158/7

37.6: K Yadav to M Morkel, Knocks a full ball down through mid on for a run.

07:16 PM (IST)

37.5 : South Africa:157/7

37.5: K Yadav to M Morkel, SIX! No bowler likes to get hit over his head, at least not while bowling to a tailender. But Morkel has done it. He gets forward with a big stride and muscles it down the ground for a biggie. 'Ab nahi maarega' (won't hit now) words of encouragement by MS Dhoni from behind the stumps.

07:16 PM (IST)

37.4 : South Africa:151/7

37.4: K Yadav to M Morkel, Morkel gets forward to a full ball and blocks.

07:14 PM (IST)

Morne Morkel is in next.

07:13 PM (IST)

36.6 : South Africa:151/7

36.6: Y Chahal to K Zondo, OUT! Khaya Zondo departs after playing a knock which will do good to his career not that much good to his team. South Africa needed him to last the distance. Another inside-out shot attempted by him, last time he went over extra cover but this time it's a bit squarer. Finds the fielder in the deep cover region and Hardik Pandya makes no mistake. Can they last 50 overs?
